« J’ai participé à 2 stages un à Dublin et un à Londres et j’ai adoré !
A Dublin, les chambres, la salle de bain et les toilettes sont individuels. Tout est très propre et nettoyé tout au long de la semaine. Les repas sont bons, divers et largement suffisants, il y a également une supérette pour de petites collations. Les cours sont intégralement en anglais mais très bien expliqués, ils sont par groupe de niveau. Pour ce qui est rugby, les entraînements sont dans le campus, il y en a tous les jours, il y a tout âge et tout niveau. Les entraînements sont de qualités et sont plutôt divers tout en étant organisé, joyeux et sérieux. Il y a également des excusions pour visiter la ville et des soirées d’organiser, très sympas. »

Como mis padres, me enseñó esfuerzo en cada jugada, silencio y respeto a las decisiones arbitrales, trabajo en cada entrenamiento, humildad con tus compañeros y oponentes, honestidad en el juego, respecto a tu capitán y entrenador. Todo esto me ha echo mejor persona y por eso creo que no hay un deporte con tantos valores como el rugby.
Rugby is: My path of life! The game cores, like Respect, Passion, Fair Play, Team Attitude/work, drive me and build my Character in a period which those words are no longer appreciated.

Ce jeux m'a appris le respect des autres, les valeurs qui lui sont liée comme le partage, m'a fais découvrir ce qu'était l'amitié et m'a permis de rencontrer de bons copain et des amis. Les exigences de ce sport m'on inculquer des valeurs tels, l'aciduitée, l'exigence le combat... Faisant de moi je le croit une meilleure personne. Le rugby ma parfois procurée des peines et des chagrins, il m'a aussi apporter les plus belle joie et je croix qu'une dès chose qui me procure le plus de plaisir sur cette terre est de disputer un match avec mes partenaires. Ce petit texte est écrit sans prétention, pour illustré le fait que pour moi le rugby est un jeux que je vis passionnément. Il fait partit de moi.
Rugby is the sport that I love since several years and rugby is my favourite hobby.
